Hard Look. Louisiana's Otto Passman, chairman of the House foreign aid appropriations subcommittee and a perennial foe of foreign aid, predictably called Kennedy's request "preposterous," and Kentucky's Republican Senator Thruston Morton warned: "A lot of us who have been friends of foreign aid are going to be looking at it mighty hard this year." Minnesota's Republican Representative Walter Judd suggested that the U.S. should "let a few of these countries go to the Communists" so that the others will not blackmail the U.S. into giving aid by threatening that they might also...
...fear of General Raoul Salan's fanatical Secret Army Organization and its indiscriminate terror. Specifically, the French agreed to recognize the F.L.N. as 1) speaking for Algeria's 9,000,000 Moslems; 2) having sovereign power over all Algeria, even the oil-rich Sahara; 3) an honorable foe whose 5,000 captured troops will be treated as prisoners of war, not criminals...

A stockily built, brown-haired, light-eyed people, they have bitterly opposed successive conquerors - Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks and French.

Another try for the nomination in 1958 was blocked by a political friend turned foe: Philadelphia Democratic Boss William Joseph Green Jr., 52, the rosy-faced, soft-spoken son of an Irish saloonkeeper. It was Green who first helped Dilworth toward public office; in 1951 Dilworth was part of a reform ticket that ended 67 years of corrupt Republican rule in Philadelphia. But Green soon came...
...jail on $100,000 bail, pending appeal of a 15-year tax-dodging rap, California Gambling Ganglord Mickey Cohen, 50, was accused of clobbering a Teamsters' picket with his own signboard. The donnybrook, which the short-fused mobster attributed to an anti-Semitic slur, was blamed by his foe on Cohen's unprovoked truculence (sample printable quote: "I own this local, and you are out"). This time Mickey only had to drop a niggling $1,050 bond to return to the suburban Van Nuys bungalow he shares with Showgirl Sandy Hagan, 22-an arrangement, Cohen assures his stirred...
